Speccy - System Information Tool | Free Download

Discovering Your Computer's Components with Speccy

Are you curious about the precise specifications of the hardware within your computer? Speccy, a newly released free utility developed by the creators of CCleaner, provides comprehensive details regarding your system’s components.

Please be aware that Speccy is currently in its public beta phase. If you prefer stable software, it’s advisable to postpone its use until the full version is officially launched.

Availability and Installation

Speccy is offered in both an executable installer format and a portable version. Select the option that best suits your requirements and proceed with the download.

The portable version is particularly advantageous for examining the hardware configurations of other computers, such as those you might be considering for purchase. Simply execute the portable version directly; for the installer, run it and follow the on-screen setup instructions.

Get your hardware info

Once the installation process is complete, you’ll gain access to a complete overview of your system’s hardware information.

Speccy typically requires administrative privileges to function optimally, triggering a User Account Control (UAC) prompt. If this prompt doesn't appear, a warning may be displayed.

The program will still operate, but some information might be inaccessible. To resolve this, close Speccy and relaunch it with administrative rights by right-clicking the program icon and selecting “Run as Administrator.”

Exploring System Details

Upon successful launch, a detailed summary of your computer’s hardware will be presented.

You can delve deeper into each section by clicking on its corresponding entry. The CPU section, for instance, reveals advanced details about your processor’s supported technologies, its model name and family, bus speeds, and current temperature.

Clicking on the graph indicators displays the temperature or speed fluctuations recorded during Speccy’s runtime.

Memory and Motherboard Information

The memory section provides crucial information such as brand, part number, frequency, and latency – valuable data when contemplating RAM upgrades or additions.

Furthermore, the motherboard page identifies the chipset and BIOS version installed in your system.

Troubleshooting and Reporting

Speccy delivers exceptionally detailed hardware insights, proving invaluable when diagnosing system issues.

The application allows you to save a snapshot of your computer’s current hardware configuration for future reference. This snapshot can also be conveniently shared with support teams to facilitate remote assistance.

Compatibility and Release

Speccy is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 2000, 2003, and Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions).

As a reminder, Speccy remains in beta. Use it now only if you are comfortable with pre-release software. Otherwise, consider trying it in a few weeks, as Piriform anticipates its final release around that time.
